WILLERT! Less than a minute in and the Beavers strike first! Jordan puts it top shelf past Schultz and MSU takes a 1-0 lead #beaverhockey

GOAL! Amazing work ethic from Nespor on a take away, sends it to McGeough who gives it to Herbel, who puts it top corner. nice. 2-0 MSU

BACK TO BACK! Herauf dazzles with a great individual effort and its 3-0 MSU with 4:20 left in p1. Give Dan Lamb an assist on that beauty!

PENALTY SHOT. Cody Hall gets taken down and we have the most exciting play in hockey coming up!

Schultz vs Hall...and Hall loses grip on the puck! might hear about that one from the boys in intermission. no worries tho, still 3-0 MSU

Beavers double their lead in period two! Goals from Stephens, Willert and McGeough make it 6-0 #Beavers. Waselenchuk turns away 11 shots...

...for a two period total of 18, while UA tendy Robert Schultz turns aside 13 of 16 shots in the period. Chuck a puck is coming up next!

Make no mistake, Schultz has played well in the UA net despite the lopsided score. MSU simply making high quality shots and capatalizing.

#Wildcats finally get one past Waselenchuk, and Dan Lamb gets a 10 min misconduct with 7:50 remaining after the goal. 7-1 MSU.
